Smallest Frontosa

[realmonsters]

Which front/gib stays the smallest or has the slowest growth rate? and is a 72 gallon (15 deep x 36 tall x 31 wide) big enough for 1?

 

[Onion01]

it should be big enough, but you really shouldn't keep frontosas by themselves. They like to form colonies

 

[realmonsters]

what is the smallest acceptable tank/colony ?

thanks, and which stays the smallest, i have read that some can reach 16 in, but i have also read that they have very slow growth rates,, and i dont want to buy something i can not provide the proper accomodations for.

They all get big, there are no dwarf types, sorry. I would not recommended less than a colony of 7. That is pretty small.

okay thanks,,

can they be kept with tropheus??

best left by themselves, tropheus are pretty agressive
